FEMIBION NATALKER II tablets No. 30+capsules No. 30

FEMIBION Natalker II promotes the normal course of pregnancy and the development of a healthy child (both in utero and after birth). The active ingredients of Femibion ​​are distributed between two dosage forms: tablets and soft capsules. Each tablet contains: folic acid, metafolin, 9 vital vitamins and iodine. Each softgel contains: the essential omega-3 fatty acid Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and vitamin E. Folic acid is a vital vitamin for expectant and nursing mothers. Studies have shown the positive effect of folic acid (a synthetic form of folate) and natural dietary folate on the course of pregnancy and the normal development of the child (both intrauterine and after birth). Foods rich in folates include spinach, lettuce, asparagus, and tomatoes. With food, we usually receive an insufficient amount of folate, often not meeting even the “normal requirement”, and in pregnant and lactating women the need for folate is increased. Therefore, supplementation in the form of synthetic folate (folic acid) is very important. In the body, folic acid is converted into a biologically active form. Medical data shows that every second woman’s body cannot completely convert folic acid into its active form. Metafolin is an easily absorbed, bioactive form of folate. Metafolin, unlike folic acid, is already a biologically active form of folate. Thanks to this, metafolin is more accessible to the body and is absorbed better than folic acid. Femibion ​​400 Folic Acid + Metafolin + DHA contains 200 mcg of folic acid with an appropriate amount of metafolin to meet the increased need and ensure the necessary level of folate in the body during pregnancy and lactation, even in those women who cannot fully convert and subsequently absorb folic acid. For the normal development of a child, in addition to folic acid, vitamins and iodine are necessary. Therefore, it is very important to fill the increased need for them during pregnancy and during breastfeeding, since the child receives vitamins and iodine not only during pregnancy from the mother, but also during feeding with mother’s milk. Femibion ​​400 Folic acid + Metafolin + DHA contains 9 vital vitamins and the trace element iodine. vitamin B1 is necessary for carbohydrate metabolism and energy supply; vitamin B2 is necessary for energy metabolism; vitamin B6 is necessary for protein metabolism; vitamin B12 is necessary for hematopoiesis and a healthy nervous system; Vitamin C is involved in the formation of connective tissue. In addition, it improves the body’s protective properties and promotes the absorption of iron; vitamin E protects body cells from so-called free radicals; biotin is important for healthy skin; pantothenate is involved in the metabolic process; nicotinamide supports the protective function of the skin; Iodine is a vital trace element necessary for the growth and functioning of the thyroid gland. The particular importance of the essential fatty acid DHA. DHA is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that is especially important for normal brain development and vision formation in a child. Quite a large amount of vital DHA is found only in fatty sea fish, but it is usually not included in the daily diet. Other foods, such as eggs, contain trace amounts of DHA. From the second half of pregnancy and during lactation, the body's need for DHA increases and the amount of DHA supplied from food sources is insufficient. Since the child's body cannot produce this vital fatty acid on its own, the child's source of DHA is the mother. The mother passes DHA to her baby through the placenta and then through breast milk. Therefore, leading experts recommend taking at least 200 mg of DHA per day during pregnancy and lactation. Femibion ​​400 Folic acid + Metafolin + DHA contains 200 mg of DHA obtained from highly purified concentrated fish oil. Exceptional quality and odor reduction are guaranteed through a strictly controlled production process. In Femibion ​​packaging, DHA is presented in capsule form. In addition to DHA, the capsules also contain Vitamin E, which ensures the stability of DHA in the body.

Folic acid is a vital vitamin for expectant and nursing mothers. Studies have shown the positive effect of folic acid (a synthetic form of folate) and natural dietary folate on the course of pregnancy and the normal development of the child (both intrauterine and after birth). As a rule, an insufficient amount of folate comes from food, often not meeting even the normal requirement, and in pregnant and lactating women the need for folate is increased. Therefore, supplementation in the form of synthetic folate (folic acid) is very important.

In the body, folic acid is converted into a biologically active form. Medical evidence shows that every second woman's body cannot completely convert folic acid into its active form.

Metafolin® is an easily absorbed, bioactive form of folate. Metafolin®. Thanks to this, Metafolin® is more accessible to the body and is absorbed better than folic acid.

Femibion® Natalker II contains 200 mcg of folic acid with an appropriate amount of Metafolin to meet the increased need and ensure the required level of folate in the body during pregnancy and lactation, even in those women whose body cannot fully convert and subsequently absorb folic acid .

For the normal development of a child, in addition to folic acid, vitamins and iodine are necessary. Therefore, it is very important to fill the increased need for them during pregnancy and during breastfeeding, since the child receives vitamins and iodine not only during pregnancy from the mother, but also during feeding with breast milk.

Folic acid: benefits

Why is vitamin B9 (folic acid) included in all complexes for pregnant women? Why is this substance needed? The most important function of folic acid is participation in protein synthesis and cell division. And during pregnancy, these processes occur constantly and in huge quantities. This is why the need for folic acid is so great among expectant mothers. Providing folic acid from the very first minutes after conception is an important condition for the proper development of the fetus. A woman may not know that she is pregnant, but in the embryo the rudiments of all organs and tissues are already formed, the neural tube is formed, from which the spine and brain are subsequently formed. All these processes require a lot of folic acid. Severe folic acid deficiency can lead to serious fetal malformations. But even in cases where the lack of vitamin B9 is insignificant, it can negatively affect the child’s hematopoietic system, mental development, immunity, and activity of the nervous system. In addition, folic acid is needed for the development of a healthy heart, blood vessels, kidneys, bladder and determines the correct formation of limbs. Therefore, it is recommended to start taking folic acid before pregnancy and continue during pregnancy. However, the cause of folic acid deficiency, even in women who took it, has recently been identified. It turns out that approximately 50% of people are not able to fully absorb folic acid due to genetic characteristics. These people produce too little of the enzyme that converts folic acid into its bioavailable and active form, L-methylfolate. And 5-25% of people do not have such enzymes at all, and they cannot absorb folic acid at all. If the expectant mother has exactly these genes, then the baby’s body will not be able to obtain a sufficient amount of vitamin B9. But it is not all that bad. Today, complexes for expectant mothers are already being produced that contain L-methylfolate. This form of vitamin B9 is easily absorbed by all women, regardless of genetics, and is absorbed by the body in full. Contains vitamin B9 in the form of methylfolate: Pregnoton Mama, Femibion.

Comparison table of vitamin compositions for pregnant women

A comparison table of vitamins for pregnant women will help you make the right choice. The comparison was made taking into account the composition of the complex, including the chemical forms of the most important vitamins and minerals.

* Ca – calcium, I – iodine, Mg – magnesium, Mn – manganese, Se – selenium, Zn – zinc

From the comparison table of vitamins for pregnant women, it can be seen that the drugs have both common and individual features. But it is very difficult to dwell on each component, so it is worth highlighting the most important aspects.

IODINE CONTENT The presence of this mineral is especially important for Russian women, because... Almost all regions of the Russian Federation experience iodine deficiency. Research by the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences has shown that Russian women receive only a third (27–37%) of the daily requirement for iodine during pregnancy. And a lack of iodine can lead to improper intrauterine development of the child. Also, iodine deficiency causes thyroid diseases in mother and baby. It has been proven that iodine deficiency is associated with an increased risk of toxicosis, missed abortion and spontaneous miscarriage, and labor abnormalities. Contain iodine: Alphabet Mom's Health, Complivit Trimester, Pregnoton Mama, Femibion. No iodine: Vitrum Prenatal, Complivit Mama, Elevit Pronatal.

CALCIUM CONTENT Not all vitamin and mineral complexes contain calcium, the situation with which is ambiguous. Insufficient intake of calcium into the body of a pregnant woman can lead to growth retardation in the fetus, since calcium is a building material for bones. If there is a lack of calcium in a newborn, rickets occurs. Naturally, a deficiency of this substance is also dangerous for a woman - her bone mineral density decreases, convulsions develop, her teeth are more susceptible to disease, her nails and hair become brittle. However, for calcium, the golden mean is important. Its excess can also negatively affect the course of pregnancy and childbirth. Thus, against the background of excess calcium, calcium salts can be deposited in the placenta, and the nutrition of the fetus is disrupted. With excess calcium, the pregnant woman’s kidneys also suffer, and eclampsia develops. The risks of birth injuries increase, because the bones of the female pelvis are more difficult to separate, and the baby’s skull becomes stiffer than normal. Calcium can also dramatically reduce iron absorption as they compete for absorption. And iron deficiency is very dangerous for pregnant women. Obstetricians and gynecologists believe that taking calcium tablets is indicated only with clinical and laboratory confirmation of hypocalcemia. In these cases, much more calcium is needed than can be “fitted” into a tablet or capsule with other vitamins and minerals; a “regular” calcium-containing complex for pregnant women will not solve the problem. Normally, a woman needs a balanced diet, in particular, the consumption of fermented milk products. Contain calcium: Alphabet Mom's Health, Vitrum Prenatal, Complivit Mama, Complivit Trimester, Elevit Pronatal. Does not contain calcium: Pregnoton Mama, Femibion.

VITAMIN A Vitamin A is another controversial vitamin. Not all experts welcome its inclusion in complexes for pregnant women. It accumulates in the liver; excess of this vitamin has a toxic effect and can cause problems in the development of the fetus. Only the “plant” form has been proven safe - beta-carotene, or provitamin A. From it, the body itself synthesizes vitamin A when the need arises. Therefore, when answering the question of how to choose the right vitamins for pregnant women, it is worth emphasizing that you need to study the composition of the drug. Vitamin A should only be provided by beta-carotene. The need for beta-carotene, by the way, can also be met by a complete and balanced diet, especially orange, yellow and red vegetables and fruits. Contains vitamin A: Alphabet Mom's Health (in the form of beta-carotene), Vitrum Prenatal, Complivit Mama, Complivit trimester, Elevit Pronatal. Do not contain vitamin A: Pregnoton Mama, Femibion.

OMEGA-3 Recently, scientists have been paying special attention to polyunsaturated fatty acids of the Omega-3 class. These compounds are necessary for the formation and development of the baby’s brain and vision, the proper formation of his nervous system and immunity. Studies have shown that children who receive sufficient amounts of Omega-3 (mothers took during pregnancy and breastfeeding in the form of supplements) have a reduced likelihood of allergic reactions, and cognitive development is ahead of their peers in the first year of life. The expectant mother also needs these same substances. Omega-3 reduces blood viscosity and, when taken regularly, prevents the development of thrombosis in pregnant women. Omega-3 is also very important for a woman’s nervous system. Pregnant women who took Omega-3 supplements have been shown to have a marked reduction in the likelihood of postpartum depression. Is it possible to meet the body's need for Omega-3 fatty acids with just nutrition? It turns out that pregnant women urgently need one of the Omega-3s - docosahexaenoic acid. And its source is only fatty sea fish - mackerel, sardines and anchovies. But there are hardly any women who eat this fish every day, and even in sufficient quantities. It is impossible to find the required form of Omega-3 in plant foods; it contains alpha-linoleic acid, but its biochemical significance for cells is somewhat different. In fact, the only way to ensure Omega-3 intake in the body is to consume it additionally in the form of supplements. Contains Omega-3 PUFAs: Pregnoton Mama, Femibion ​​2.

Iron: protection against anemia

Anemia is considered the most common obstetric complication. Due to the fact that pregnant women have a sharp increase in blood volume, the need for iron also increases. After all, it is the main component of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to all tissues, including the fetus. In addition, the new organism needs iron for other purposes: the formation of the central nervous system, immune and hematopoietic systems. In order not to experience iron deficiency, a pregnant woman should increase the daily intake of this mineral by 2 times. However, most Russian women already have hidden iron deficiency by the time of conception. Rosstat data says that a fifth of pregnant women have a hemoglobin level below 120 g/l, and 34% have a hemoglobin level less than 110 g/l. In the postpartum period, anemia occurs in every second woman in labor. Iron deficiency can be suspected based on fairly specific symptoms - pale skin and mucous membranes (eyelids, lips), fatigue, increased drowsiness and decreased performance. The most dangerous consequence of anemia is premature termination of pregnancy. However, other consequences are no less serious: delay in fetal development, low weight, gestosis, labor disruption and infectious and inflammatory complications after childbirth. The problem is that iron is poorly absorbed. From inorganic compounds (salts and oxides), the body “takes” only 1/10 of the iron contained in them. The vast majority of iron compounds cause disturbances in the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, some of them are prohibited from being used in preparations for pregnant women - for example, sulfate. Even iron fumarate, which is currently included in most complexes for pregnant women, causes nausea and vomiting, constipation, and severe abdominal pain. Therefore, despite the threat of anemia, expectant mothers often stop taking iron when faced with problems in the gastrointestinal tract. Not long ago, scientists developed iron in liposomal form. Liposomal iron is absorbed 4.7 times better than fumarate and does not cause side effects. Contain iron in liposomal form: Pregnoton Mama Contain iron in the form of fumarate: Alphabet Mom's Health, Vitrum Prenatal, Complivit Mama, Complivit Trimester, Elevit Prenatal. Does not contain iron: Femibion.
